A/N: Thinking about it now I probably shouldn't have spent eight hours on this, oh well.
Chapter 3: Family Reunion
A tense silence filled team RWBY's room as Yang and Ashe sat across from each other, the two had ice pack held against their jaws as they stared at each neither daring to start the conversation. Therefore it fell to Ruby to break the silence.
"Sooo." The silver eyed girl said. "If you're Yangs aunt how come we've never seen you?
"I'd like to know that too." Yang growled glaring at her supposed aunt.
Ashe sighed before reaching into her vest pocket and pulling out a folded piece of paper, she then threw it at Yang who promptly caught it with a raised eyebrow.
"What's this?"
"Open it and find out." Ashe said her eyes closed.
Yang looked to Glynda who nervously looked away not meeting her eyes, curiosity increasing she unfolded the piece of paper before her eyes widened as she gasped at the words on the paper. Ruby, who sitting beside her, breath hitched as she saw what Yang was staring.
"He, he put a restraint order on you?" Yang asked her hands shaking as her hair shadowed her eyes.
Ashe let loose a long sigh. "Tai loved your mother there was never any doubt about that, nearly anytime you looked at him you could find him staring at her with both lust and admiration. But your father...my brother was the one to steal Ravens heart."
The blue haired woman was about to say more when sniffling was heard through the room, looking at the source Ashe instantly felt a pang of guilt as she saw Ruby looking down at her lap with tars clearly dropping from her eyes. Yang instantly drew Ruby into a hug reassuring her that no matter what they'd still be sisters even if they weren't blood related. Ashe sighed again as she ran a hand through her hair awkwardly, there'd be a lot more tears to come especially with what she was about to say next.
"No matter what anyone said after Raven had gone off to lead her clan Tai refused to give up custody to her stating that it would be too dangerous for you , not even Summer was able to convince him."
"What about Yangs father?" Blake asked wrapping an arm around the brawler. "Wouldn't he have more of a right to her?"
At that Yang eyes shot up to meet her aunts eyes the blonde was met with a look of pain and regret.
"Yang...You're Father has been in prison for the past seventeen years."
(Top Of Beacon Tower.)
"This isn't good Oz." Said Qrow Branwen as he stood in front of Beacons headmaster.
With him was James Ironwood general of the Atlesian Army and Special Operative Winter Schnee. Ozpin had called them here the moment Glynda had stormed out of his office, if she really did act on what she had said they'd have a whole new problem on their hands.
"We cannot let Ashe take Yang away." Ironwood said his eyes narrowing. "The power she holds could rival that of the maidens if Ashe or her mother gets their hands on her..."
"The balance of power could shift drastically." Winter finished hands clenching at her sides.
Ozpin sighed."At this point there's very little we can do, If she's not here already Ashe should be on her way or just arriving to Vale and with her her the tribe shouldn't be too far behind."
"Then we should mount a force to intercept them!" Ironwood said with Winter nodding in agreement.
"I wouldn't recommend that."
All eyes turned to the end of the room where a boy with with pale skin with dark purple spiky hair. He is characterized by his emotionless, static personality and small irises. Fitting with the motif of his Biometal, he is dressed in a ninja-like garb. The lower half of his face is obscured by a long, tattered red scarf. Like his fellow Mega Men, Siarnaq wears the typical ZX Mega Man vest with a purple coloration.
"And who might you be young man?" Ozpin asked signaling for Ironwood and Winter to not attack him.
"My name is Sirinaq, apprentice to Ashe Castle I come with a message." The now named Sirinaq said his monotone voice sending chills down everyone spines.
"And what would that be ?" Qrow asked a bit unnerved at how the boy sounded like a machine.
"If you attempt to interfere with me reconciling with my niece, if you attempt to stop my or Ravens clan in any way there will be war."
And with that Sirinaq disappeared into the shadows leaving four shocked and nervous Huntsman to their devices, Qrow pulled out his flask before taking a good long swig. When he was done he looked Ozpin straight in the eyes.
"Beacons got that parent day thing coming up right?"
Ozpin nodded.
"And that kid just said Ashe was here and Ravens tribe was on their way?"
Ozpin once again nodded causing both Ironwood and Winter to pale.
Qrow took another swig of his flask. "...I'll start making the funeral arrangements."
(RWBY Dorm.)
"That's...that's insane." Weiss said in both in awe and shock at what she had heard.
The other members of team RWBY could only nod their heads in agreement causing Ashe and Glynda to chuckle, they'd just finished the tale of just how Yangs father had gotten thrown in prison and needless to say the four girls were shocked.
"Yeah my little bro was a complete monster during his time as a Hunter, although ,as you now know, it got him the wrong type of attention at times." Ashe said a small frown on her face before it was replaced with a grin.
"But enough with that wishy-washy crap!" Ashe said jumping up and pulling both Yang and Ruby into a hug. "All I want to do now is to get to know my two cute little nieces! Summer was my best friend Ruby so that makes you my niece too!"
"Agh hey!"
"I'm not cute!"
Everyone laughed as Ashe continued to embarrassed the two Huntress in training giving them both kisses on the cheek before a knock at the door interrupted them. Opening the door Glynda was surprised to see not only the entirety of team JNPR but that of Qrow as well, the red eyed Huntsman motioned for her,Ashe and Yang to step out so they could talk while JNPR went to see what all the yelling was about. Complying after Yang assured Ruby that she'd tell her what was said later, the three left the room where an awkward silence enveloped them.
"...So..."
Qrow didn't get a chance to finish his sentence as Yang buried her fist into his stomach. "That's for not telling me the truth."
"To be fair." Qrow groaned. "I was going to tell you eventually."
"Except you didn't and I had to learn from a godmother and aunt that I didn't even know existed!" Yang yelled her eyes turning red. "Do you have any idea what I d-Taiyang told me? He made me think that my own mother had abandoned me without a second thought!"
Qrow winced at this, while he hadn't been around a lot he'd been there for when Tai had explained Raven to Yang needless to say nothing good came of it. He was about to respond when a hand was placed on his shoulder, looking back he saw Glynda looking at him with sad eyes before shaking her head. The old drunk sighed before walking away with her, better to let her have her space from him for now let the knowledge she'd learned today settle before approaching her and asking for forgivness. As he walked the hallways of Beacon he couldn't help but smirk..
At least he had more of a chance than Tai did.
"Nice Yang keep up the pace!"
"You got it!" Yang yelled as she sent another punch Ashes way.
It had been three weeks since her first meeting and the two couldn't be happier, after Qrow had left Ashe had decided to spend the rest of the day with her niece getting to know both her and her friends. Though if she had to choose she'd have to say that Nora was her favorite out of all the members of team JNPR, the blue haired Huntsmen had never thought she would meet someone who could shovel down more pancakes than her. Ashe chuckled at the memory as she grabbed her nieces fist before pulling her forward nailng her with an elbow to the forehead before flipping her over onto her back and stomping on her chest. Yang made to get up only to find a gun pressed to the bridge of her nose.
"Check mate firecracker."
"Damn, thought I had you that time." The brawler said as she got up from the floor and dusted herself off.
"Ha. in your dreams kid! You couldn't handle all this." Ashe striking a sexy pose much to Yangs amusement.
"I don't know." Yang said striking a pose of her own. "I think the boys prefer younger women to older."
"Ahem." Came an obviously embarrassed voice.
Turning around both women were met with the sight of three individuals one of them being Sirinaq. Standing to his left was a young man with pale skin and long silver hair with a pale green tint and a very thick pointed fringe that covers one half of his face, the boy had on a sharp, stoic expression. He had on a vest, but specific to only him, he wears a cape. On his right side was a young boy with short blue hair with a single large strand standing upright with a red triangle on his forehead. He ion an embarrassed yet innocent and vibrant expression on his face. He had on a jacket right under the hoodie he wore and though he's sporting a pair of white thigh-high socks, Yang noted that he didn't appear to be wearing any pants.
"We have arrived leader." The one with the silver hair said giving a slight bow as he did.
"Who are you guys?" Yang asked as Ashe walked over to the group.
"Yang i'd like you to meet three of our elites of our tribe, men introduce yourselves."
"I am Aeolus the wind Megaman." The one with the silver hair said.
"My name is Sirinaq, the shadow Megaman."
"And i'm-."
"My adorable little Thetis!" Ashe yelled bringing the boy into a bear hug.
"Ack! Mom...cant...breath!"
"Mom!?" Yang yelled in surprise as she stared at her now revealed cousin. "And what's a Megaman?"
"I'll fill you in on the details later Yang but for now."
Still holding her son in a bear hug Ashe kicked the container the boys had brought causing it to rise upwards, in it was a set of clothes including a vest with an orange coloration and a pair of boxing glove-like gauntlets of the same color as well as a black body suit, white pants with a single brown belt going around and orange metal boots. Above the suit was a very blocky form with an orange coloration, two yellow large protrusions running perpendicular of one another that cover the front and back of it and a guard that covers the jewel in the center.
"This my little niece is the suit of the chosen Megaman of Model F." Ashe said finally letting go of her son. "Over the years we'd tried to se who'd be the one to wear it but no one seemed to fit the bill, that is until I found this hidden in the case."
The blue haired woman pressed a button and a holographic image of Gray appeared in front of the group.
"Dad.."
"Hello Yang or at least I hope this is you." Gray said giving a nervous laugh. "Well if you're hearing this that means that I'm dead or in prison...probably prison. Anyway this is my birthday gift to you, our family has a history of being born with immense hidden potential your great-great-great grandfather dubbed this potential Megamerge which in turn gave rise to the Megamen and woman, there's a different medium and suit that each person has to discover/make for themselves...but this...I made this specifically for you."
The capsule let out a hiss as it opened before the metal started to glow and float towards her.
"From the moment I saw you I knew you were going to be something great, someone who'd use her power like a flame burning and destroying her enemies with brute force alone, hopefully this'll help you... I have to go, until we meet again little firecracker."
And with that Gray disappeared and the metal floated into Yangs body
(Beacon Cafeteria.)
Taiyang Xiao Long frowned as he observed his daughter from afar, he thought she'd be happy to see him after so long but the red head had been avoiding for the entirety of the day. If that wasn't enough he could swear her friends were sending him subtle glares.
'I wonder what's wrong with her.' Tai thought before deciding to go see for himself.
As he got closer he watched as someone wearing a brown cloak came over and started to talk to them, whatever was said Tai could tell shocked them as their eyes opened wide causing the woman to laugh.
"Ruby!" Tai yelled worriedly pulling the girl off to the side. "What did I tell you about talking to people you don't know?"
To Taiyangs shock Ruby glared at him. "What about the things you didn't tell me dad."
"What are you talking about?"
"She means that Ashe was here Tai."
Turning his head so fast people swore he got whiplash the blonde stared at his brother in law with wide eyes. "...What?"
"You can blame Glynda." Qrow said taking a drink from his flask. "She called Ashe over here and she told them everything."
Taiyang paled before looking at back at his daughter who stared back with disappointment in her eyes. "Ruby whatever they told you-"
"Is probably true."
Both Taiyang and Qrow froze both eyes wide open turning around Tais eyes widened in horror as he saw a woman walking up to them while eating a steak. She was fairly tall and fair-skinned with dark-eyes, a slender frame with a curvaceous yet well-toned and well-endowed figure and upperback-length black hair worn in box braids, usually tied in a ponytail. Above her left breast is a Flamel tattoo. She normally wears a long white collared-blouse that reveals her cleavage, that has flowing backside, form-fitting grey pants reaching her ankles, and opened-toed sandals that have the letters "W.C." on them.
"Why is it that every time I see you you're ruining my meal kid." The woman said a fake smile on her face. "But don't get me wrong it's still splendid to see you."
She then grabbed Tai by the scruff of his shirt effortlessly picking him up.
"Lets have a heart to heart."
Dear god this was a struggle for me to write!
